As I opened the door this evening getting home from work, my dog met me at the door and was very excited. He jumped up and down, ran in circles, gave a couple of happy whines, and was overall very happy to see me. If I had accidentally stepped on his paw, he was have whimpered and acted even more excited, as if it were he who owed me an apology.

It occurred to me that a lot of that submissive behavior is the result of thousands of years of man breeding those traits into dogs.

It also occurred to me that man could have done the exact same thing with women. Our forefathers could have bred the most compliant women to produce other compliant women. Chose only attractive, deferential women who possess other favorable traits such as loyalty, passion, etc and over time we would have perfect, or near perfect, mates. The world would be such a nicer place if that had happened.
